Stay hungry, be smart
The difference between a good Italian restaurant and a great Italian restaurant? Consistency. And a damn good sauce. Carbone is one of those places that never stops being good; every time I come here, no matter the day, hour, or season, it’s good. Ok, it’s very good. When you sit […]
If you’re wondering, it’s pronounced “meh-shu-gen-uh” and it means “crazy” in Yiddish. I’ll be totally honest, I’m half-Jewish and I was pronouncing it like “Michigan” until I saw the Israeli-inspired menu and put two and two together. Nothing gets by me! Before I even start in on the food, let’s […]
Again, apologies for the delay on this one…I’ve been behind on life. A lot of you have asked for a roundup of the places I visited in Seattle, so here you go! Please keep in mind, I was only there for 3 days and my knee was REALLY bad at […]
I’d like to preface this entire post by saying that I kind of hate dating. But I’ve done it. A lot, unfortunately. So…maybe this post should be titled “Best First Date Bars in NYC for People Who Hate Dating”. …I’ll consider it. Anyway. I have been to all of the […]

Ohhhh Times Square. How I LOATHE THEE. Let me count thy ways. Ok sorry, it’s fine, I won’t count. If you’re a born and raised New Yorker like myself, chances are you hate this place too. It’s full of energy, I’ll give it that, but it’s overwhelming and anxiety-inducing. SO […]
This list has been a long time coming. I’ve been compiling it for a while and every time I think I’ve finished it, a new “great” place opens up. Then I think to myself, might as well go with what I know to be good and consistent, as opposed to […]
With summer being my least favorite season of the year, at least I can look forward to one thing: Pretty places to eat and drink. You can go ahead and file Wayla under that category. Tucked away on the LES (quite literally, as it’s in the basement of 111 Forsyth), […]
After much anticipation, the Time Out Market in Dumbo has opened! The 21,000 square foot space is lined with buzzy restaurant vendors, a rooftop with immaculate views of the Brooklyn Bridge, and three bars for your imbibing pleasure. CEO Didier Souillat told Food & Wine in a statement: “Our Time […]
